It is almost midd summer and you are talking winter feeding. Feeding is simple.
It is more important, how to get a good cluster of winter bees.
Winter cluster size will be same as the brood area before brooding stop.
Those bees which feed larvae, they will die before winter.
Winter cluster brooding needs empty combs where to lay.
If you feed too early or the hive s is full of honey, cluster will be small.
